This is a photograph of Albert Einstein with an unassuming Indian man you probably haven’t heard enough about. He spent his life working on one idea: women should be able to live with dignity and make their own choices. Thread.

1/14 Image
His name was Maharshi Dhondo Keshav Karve. Karve was born in 1858 in Ratnagiri. He was a pioneering Indian social reformer, educator, and mathematics professor recognized for championing women's education and widow remarriage.

2/14 Image
At that time, widows in India had very few options. Many were expected to live a restricted life, without education or the chance to remarry.

This was widely accepted as normal.

Unlike flu, COVID can cause ongoing brain inflammation
👉 Plus small blood vessel damage in the brain

➡️ Even after recovery

This helps explain symptoms like:
• Brain fog
• Fatigue
• Mood changes

👉 Hallmarks of Long COVID. 3/

HOW ONE MAN REVIVED A NATION
The population pyramid of Kazakhstan is unlike any other in the world. Birthrate decline was stopped and reversed, even as the country grew rich.

Nursultan Nazarbayev led 🇰🇿 for 27 years from its founding in 1991 and got it to grow again! 🧵! Image
Image
Image
Kazakhstan's population pyramid inverted in the mid 1980s as the number of births declined sharply and fertility fell below replacement in the 1990s.

But then births sharply recovered and Kazakhstan experienced a baby boom lasting almost 30 years even as it's GDP grew 15x! 2/7 Image
Image
The father of his country, Nazarbayev was incredibly popular, with an approval rate of around 90% through most of his long presidency.

On December 12, 1995, Nazarbayev introduced the Altyn Alka and Kumis Alka awards for mothers of many children. A pronatal culture was forged. 3/ Image

🔥 Tuapse refinery becomes black sea volcano

Thick smoke stretches for 250 km as the fire spread to nearby tanks. One of the largest refineries in southern russia is still engulfed in flames severely disrupting fuel production for the russian military.

🔥Tuapse: the terminal suffered damage to deep-sea tankers, pipeline infrastructure, and storage tanks. A severe fire broke out and the 50N6E radar was also destroyed in the coordinated strike by Alpha, SBS, SSO, and GUR.

GRECE is a European New Right think tank led by Alain de Benoist. It promotes a white International, paganism, & a rejection of Christianity. In the 90s, GRECE allied with Russia's Red-Brown alliance & Aleksandr Dugin, who called for a "Third Empire" against American capitalism. Image
Image
Image
Image
GRECE had a specific interest in Germanic and Nordic neopaganism, and whose leaders called for fidelity to the “white Aryan ideal” and the formation of an “International of the white race” to “reassert the place of the white man in the world.”

Even the greatest warriors of the Mahabharata broke rules…
And it wasn’t a mistake.

Arjuna. Bhima. Yudhishthira.
Each crossed the line at the right moment.

Because Dharma isn’t black or white—
it evolves with time & truth.
What they knew… most still miss today 👇🧵 Image

Officer Lt. Matthew Mahl, a longtime member of the D.C. Metropolitan Police and former chairman of the police union was arrested in Maryland and charged with sexual solicitation of a minor and soliciting child sex abuse materials.
1)
He was elected around 2016 as the first openly gay chairman of the D.C. Police Union, according to multiple reports from his tenure as a lieutenant in the Metropolitan Police Department.
2)
This distinction was noted in coverage of his role supervising the Gay & Lesbian Liaison Unit in 2013 and his later leadership positions.

Investigators say he communicated with someone he believed to be a 15-year-old boy, who was actually an undercover detective.

Chromothripsis is typically triggered by errors during mitosis, such as the formation of a micronucleus. Recent research suggests that deuterium overload can play a role in this "shattering" process:

Kinetic Isotope Effect (KIE): Deuterium (D) forms bonds that are 8-10 times stronger and harder to break than normal hydrogen (H).

Mitotic Disruption: This mass difference can cause "stutters" in the molecular motors (like Fo-ATPase pumps) that manage energy and cell division. When these motors fail, chromosomes are more likely to lag behind or mis-segregate into micronuclei, leading directly to the shattering seen in chromothripsis. Kev is right chromothripsis is down stream deuterium biology because the KIE controls clock speeds and a slow clock causes cancer because atomic mass (D+) is weighing down the DNA and it cannot be read on time.

The base chain of life, DNA is designed to be undeuterated to get perfect signal and eliminate the noise cause by deuteration.
2. What does this slide really mean? The slide highlights a massive biophysical paradox that mainstream medicine largely ignores: Deuterium is the most concentrated "vital element" in human serum, yet it is functionally excluded from the mitochondria. Rockefeller medicine teaches MDs to focus on glucose and K+ but deuterium has 10X the concentration in blood where no RBC have mitochondria because of this partitioning.

When a cell has mitochondria, our human Langrangian seeks to keep it from the matrix at all costs. When it gets this is when cancer becomes a real possibility.

H+ breaks time symmetry in mammals so we can live in a highly dissipative state, while D+ invites symmetry and this leads to disease and eventual rigor mortis. Life is not meant to be symmetric or at equilibrium. That is why biochemists are morons and why biophysics shows the equation of Everything. H+ and D+ are handled asymmetrically in the eukaryotic kingdom.Image

3. Methylation and "Heavy" DNA:

As my thesis notes, methyl groups (𝐶𝐻3) are central to DNA regulation. When these groups are deuterated (CD3)

Gene Expression: Research indicates that a higher D/H ratio in the cell acts as a "trigger" for oncogenes like c-Myc and RAS while suppressing tumor suppressors like TP53.

Methylation Patterns: Altered D/H ratios can disrupt the tight regulation of DNA methyltransferases, potentially leading to the global hypomethylation and site-specific hypermethylation that characterize cancer. They also alter the UPE signal need to progress past mitosis ibn the cell cycle.

OpenAI has officially launched GPT-Rosalind, a frontier AI model engineered specifically for the life sciences. While the model itself is a massive leap forward, the accompanying release of the Codex Life Sciences Plugin is what truly changes the landscape. This plugin integrates more than 50 distinct scientific databases into one unified, natural language interface.GPT-Rosalind & Codex Life Science Plugging

If you work in research, pharma, or medicine, you know the pain of data fragmentation. A single drug discovery or clinical research workflow currently requires navigating a maze of disconnected platforms. Researchers are forced to jump between dozens of separate websites, each demanding a different query language, presenting different data formats, and utilizing entirely different user interfaces.

This constant context switching is not just annoying; it is a massive drain on time and cognitive resources. It slows down the pace of discovery and makes synthesizing complex information incredibly difficult.
